| As you browse through this second edition of How to Build Your Own Underground Home, you must be asking yourself." What more can he find to write about after three previous books on the subject of underground homes."
The answer is basic. Like many subjects that are surrounded by good old yankee ingenuity, improvements and advancements are constantly being made. This second edition includes the pertinent information that has come to light since 1978 in the field of earth-sheltered living.
Consider that when the first edition was writ-ten energy was the predominate word of the day. Today earth-sheltered homes are being built more for a preferred architectural style than for the energy-savings factor. As you read on you will definitely notice the influence the 1980s are having on design and materials.
Earth-sheltered homes are now being ac-cepted as a modem style of home as compared to the sideshow they once were. To repeat a phrase I have used in my previous books, earth-sheltered living is an idea whose time has come. |
